ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte has launched a scathing attack on the tobacco industry.

This while defending minister of co-operative governance and traditional affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

The move by Duarte comes amid reports that Dlamini-Zuma was mobilising her Covid-19 national command council colleagues to throw their weight behind a continued ban on the sale of cigarettes and alcohol until level one of the lockdown.

Never did i imagine i would ever have something to praise the ANC cadres about BUT! This lady i praise above all others. Well spoken and fully supported. Your insight is wonderful and refreshing. Ban alcohol & cigarettes. Just look at the destruction of lives from both. Enkosi!

We just waiting on the president coz people been talking too much and thinking they can each run this country

Ayiiii , people are dying because of lack of access to clean water, nutritional food, medicines , car accidents due to potholes and unsafe roads,crime, drugs, dangerous mines etc.!you come here and claim to save people from alcohol and cigarettes! Pathetic!

Government again displaying an arrogant disdain for citizens. Oh, and we haven't forgotten her son in law's role in assisting van Rooyen's Guptas in the failed treasury heist

Strange how these RET stooges attack the ‘tobacco industry’ but are in love with the tobacco mafia Funny that. 😑

Trust Jessie to always utter nonsense.

Is it just me or are these articles getting funnier by the day.. This is like boarder line non-fixtional

Not interested in what she has to say thank you very much

Jesse Duarte is unfortunate

I’m so tired of the aging ruling party they make me sick 🤒

She is leadership

so do car companies and companies that sell sugar

NCCC better be prepared for court battles, BAT won’t take cANCers sh*it!

The fact of the matter is you can't generate the Income that Tobacco and Alcohol can to the Economy. That's what it is about! SA needs the money. We in a Recession and have junk status and you want to kill us more by taking away what generates Billions. Are you kidding us

This FATTY needs to lose weight before making stupid statements.

So are guns and cars...its wrong for the government to assume that adults in SA don't have an idea on the dangers of smoking, but to settle election campaign debts this way is totally unnecessary

Time for this old bat to retire

Jessie Duarte's fixed mindset must tell the truth, illicit cigarettes industry sell fake cigarettes, make people sick& destroy SARS tax revenue! Tobacco industry are registered,create jobs, pay tax to SA SARS &monitored by health department & can be fine for making people sick!!!

Impunity stupidity anarchy or nativity/ignorance or all 4 the petitioners 2 remove Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as the Minister of Cogta. Isn't this abuse of democracy as an institution & culture? Bcoz she's against that which kills/aids illnes during a pandemic.

You can always tell what way the ANCParliament is going. When party members ANCDSGDuarte start supporting powers to secure their jobs. COVID19 COVID19SouthAfrica

ANCDSGDuarte WELL SAID THE FIRST BIT OF COMMN SENSE I've heard from the ANC IN 20 YEARS PLEASE run for President

Good cigarette and alcohol can be banned for life, white companies are making profits while blacks are killing each other when they are drunk and smoking, I support u NDZ

Jessie Duarte must stop cheap sickness attack & come out gun blazing on illicit cigarettes that make syndicates & bosses billionaires& destroy SARS tax revenue collection!!! SA SARS need billions to fight the Corona virus spread!!!! Tobacco industry is paying billions to SARS!!!!

Everyone is a health expert now... She is so silent on air pollution /fossil fuel/ coal to be exact ...?

For decades Tobacco industry have created jobs& paid more tax rate than other goods!!!! Jessie Duarte must stop cheap sickness attack strategy!SA is democratic constitutional state if Tobacco industry is making people sick ,why she didn't open a lawsuit case for the sick people?

Ban the ANC that make an entire country sick..

Eish!!! This Old lady. They don't care anymore about economy... As long as their salary is guaranteed every month. People smoked from the beginning of Lock down and are still buying cigarettes and the worst thing it is fake cigarettes which is killing our economy

NDZ is taking our right to choose. We know that cigarettes and alcohol are unhealthy but so is sugar,fat,salt and processed food.This has long stopped being about the virus.We don't need her to mother us we need her to govern.The people know their place she needs to learn hers

It is unconstitutional to ban cigarettes under the smokescreen of Covid 19 because you don't like them.

Jessie, lose some weight you are obese, you are a risk to the well being of others and put the health system at risk, why dont you stop eating? We can start a petition for you as well. Hear this heads will roll get out of the way. lockdownSA Covid19SA

To hell with you and wat u think

Where the Hell did she pop up from...🤔🤔

mxm

She s also getting a cut from the illegal cigarettes money🤔

plooipoes

Can someone please tell Leon Schuster this is not one of those 'Shucks ' times😂 what is he doing there

Hidden agendas here. Of course tobacco is bad for one, we all know that. So is alcohol, coffee, dagga, most medications and especially sugar. Why single out one?

Jessie she wants her cut nkosazana can't benefit alone...there agenda now is oppressing our right's

Well, I am not a smoker but the taxes on tobacco pays your salaries, it also employs millions of people world wide. Ok, waiting for the smart asses to pop in with health issues, smokers also keep the doctors in business.

Jeez, did the dwarf get lucky and score a bottle of grog. Because now she is going hell for leather.

Are you guys out of something to report since in morning you being reporting about this 😳 out of news?

Her attention and focus seems to be misplaced and there is more to this than just the mere ban of cigarettes

ANCDSGDuarte we have always been sick, so the arrival of Covid-19 suddenly made you realize?😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🍻🚬 PLEASE because we buying from our own pockets. There's just so much that MYANC could put a stop at 1st right within your own then check out side

FFS 😠😠😠

Re tlogeleng reyeng kerekeng gona cos le gana re tsuba matekwane arena.... Bula di kereke hle... Akere le gana renwa jonjobina legana re tsuba matekwane. Bula di kereke then

_snempilo I support her.

Seems as though the micro minority anti-smoking lobby has this anc gov's ear, and is now dictating to the gov what to do, and when to do it, concerning 11,000,000 smokers freedom, lives, and their civil rights!

She looks like Pik Botha

It's not an attack but a friendly warning.

Not surprised!

All they are doing is wasting public funds on this investigation. We know they not going to close down any tobacco industry. No matter how sick people get... so lets not waste each others time.

Thank you! Rehabilitate them ka force

FFS little person...get a real job...

Perhaps this hideous fat thing should stop stuffing its face. Obesity is far more dangerous than smoking when it comes to Covid 19.

Is everyone aware of how SA gets its Tax?

Exactly you chose her, not the people of SA

Useless ANC crackpot tries to blame the tobacco industry for NDZ petition. There I fixed it for you.

Doctor Jessie do not forget that the alcohol industry too make people sick and what about the mining industry? Please expose your plan going forward.

Where were all our covid19SA hero's when the body bags of the murdered where stacked 60 deep every single day? We don't lock criminals up for crimes they might commit, depriving individuals of the 'right to responsibility' is a human rights abuse. lockdownSA

Go eat another pie!!

This woman needs 2 crawl back into the Crack where she was all this time and keep quiet. Her views are not scientific and is not relevant. Y is her views even being entertained in the media.

You missing the point, if gov wants to ban cigarettes then say so. NDZ has been a servant of the country, but the irrational decisions are the issue. It's not industry you should attack, but you taking away rights of people under covid pretenses. Is this where we going as SA?

Don't bite the hand that feeds u,the very same company they are fighting pays their Salaries 😑😑

This is becoming ugly and it seems like some people are pushing an agenda

Y cant this gogo's go on pension

From the WORLD LEADING SCIENTISTS ON COVID19 '....banning cigarettes can have DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES' for the people

60 body bags of murder victims every single day did not bother you, and now you want people to believe you care and act in their best interest? covid19SA lockdownSA

ANCDSGDuarte piss off!

As a matter of fact they must be chased out of this country sell outs.

Basic human rights are not up for political debate or at governments discretion or based on a percentage of the population that believe it will benefit them. lockdownSA covid19SA theANCisalegacyofapartheid

So ban sugar aswell it makez ppl sick aswell

She never condemned the Gupta's when they were looting bcs her son in law was benefiting. She pretends like she cares about us. She must be the last person to comment

The ANC makes me sick.

Bet she doesn't smoke, supports Zuma's son.

But the ANC happily spends the tax money it generates. Who's the moral guardians now

Are there scientific evidence to suggest that the band on alcohol and cigarettes can eliminate the spread of covid-19...?if so...can we get the statistics of this evaluations brought forward to the public

Wow the former MEC who was forced to resigned from her position after crashing her government allocated car which she drove without licence.

Because she is a politician and she has a public platform, she think she can say what she wants and people must fear her. It don't work that way. She is not different to any one of us. I don't smoke, but please don't politicize cigarettes. This is a democracy. Let they smoke.

She must also be in Mazotti's pocket.

Translated: 'This is a democracy. It means you do as we tell you to.

You can sell your soul but hell waits for you.

I'm just worried that there are people that still take Jessie Duarte seriously

She must go too

Tsek

I am smelling 2022 loading....🤦‍♂️

Village

Old age - needs to step down. They are waiting for them at the retirement age

So does holding one position for a very long time, you lose your mind.

Not surprised Jessie lost the plot long time ago

Women Unity✔️

Fuk Jessie Duarte
